No la. No money for pocket rocket la. We must boycott cjlai. Damn poisonous la COD with him. Minolta 85mm f1.4 almost made me cry. ): But the 28mm I got is practically a new lens. I was damn shocked.

Gratz on your new haul~

iamKiet : Thanks.

When I got my hands on the 28mm. It made me wonder. Why not dump my Tamron 17-50 f2.8 for another prime? Oh well. Let me try to live my life with my "kitlenses" of 28mm and 50mm then see how. (:

if u don't want 28mm sell to me k.. lol

8tvt, alphanatics just got upped a 28mm 2.8.. fresh from the oven

I actually have the same idea of you ... but 17-50 us good for all-round-use in event and the sharpness is equal the same as the Minolta 28mm @F2.8

Well wanna ask Sony A200~A700 which has wireless popup flash control can also trigger the studio lighting right? because yesterday when I try to use my pop up flash and trigger my F58am, the rest of studio lighting also trigger too but I found it wasn't work all the time. Instead when I mount my F58am on body, the studio lighting will works perfectly whenever I trigger so I was a little confuse, how actually works to trigger studio lighting wirelessly by using the wireless flash control?

not now.. but planning too..
just grab 50mm recently.. just prepare for next year event..
need to practice²..

wingster : Are you sure Tamron @ 28mm f2.8 is as sharp as Minolta 28mm @ f2.8? SURE? Gonna do some tests soon.

test² same subject.. so can decide..

Test & post the result here

Will do. Maybe during the weekends. (:

those studio lights works the same way as nikon speedlights are able to be triggered by sony flashes when in SU4 mode. most likely that the studio lights detector did not detect your pop up flash's signal. using the f58, the power is much higher and gives a wider coverage, thus making detection easier.

moo, 1750 no good. throw them away

berhenti berharap plis...

counting down the hours to my tammy

@wingster
wa damn cool! although i would prefer a brighter shot. =)

agree zstan, at least to show or expose tat guns a little more

Haha I'm quite new to studio photography and also I put it lower expose on purpose because need to post processing on montaging and blending other stuff later since my assignment involves heavy photoshop workout

Maybe different people have different view (for me I like that kind of feel) and I appreciate your comment and critique, thanks.

ok.

so tell me, what do you want to emphasise on the shot?

the model? gun? the costume? or just simply..the mood?
